Illusion Shoes
June 5th, 2009 by agenda21
These shoes are very strange. What looks like a women floating in the air is in fact a rather nifty sole of the shoe, made to give the wearer apparent levitation powers.
Hurts. My....

LG’s 2009 TV range is now on film!
June 4th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
Edd Dale from LGE UK's training team took some time out of his busy schedule to present these videos about the 2009 TV range for us. Some of them introduce new models in the range, including the LG PS8000 Plasma and this one on the LF7700 LCD TV with built-in FreeSat:
Others deal with specialized queries or explaining what the new features and technologies mean for the TV owner, such as USB connectivity or this demonstration of the - remarkable, I think, power-saving capabilities of the LG Intelligent Sensor - by constantly responding to the conditions of the surrounds the sensor...

Digg announce ‘Digg Ads’ – giving users a way to feedback
June 4th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
Props to Rocio from LG Blog ES for spotting this one: Yesterday Digg announced plans for a new advertising platform — Digg Ads.
Digg Ads will give you more control over which advertisements are displayed on Digg. The more an ad is Dugg, the less the advertiser will have to pay. Conversely the more an ad is buried, the more the advertiser is charged, pricing it out of the system.

As someone who's never really gotten into Cricket, I'm using this as an opportunity to try and gain some insight into the rules/scoring system and as it's based on the World Twenty20 Cricket tournament itself, LG's game should be a good learning experience!
Using the tournament for it's structure means the points part of the game will start after the first group stage match on Friday, 5th June, and will run through to the final match...
